Makeup Brushes : Real Techniques & Zoeva

Heyy dolls! How y'all doing? Wherever you are, I hope y'all are doing fabulously great! So today.. Errr I forgot what I wanted to say. Ahh yes. Makeup brushes! What is makeup without its essential tool? I mean, of course. When I first started with makeup, my fingers were the only tools or the applicators that came with the makeup haha. Now that I have moved a phase up which means I am no longer a beginner in the makeup world, I need a proper set of tools.

I would say I have a small size of makeup brushes collection. It is small if I were to compare it to other beauty bloggers out there. I have always been collecting single brushes even until now. Until recently, or to be precised last year, I started to go for a complete set of makeup brushes from a certain brand. For a start, I got myself the Core Collection from Real Techniques and I got this set from Luxola. This brand has been a rave among the beauty bloggers out there. Everyone was talking about it and I knew I had to get one set of it. Core Collection consists of four brushes and it comes in a pouch which is to me very convenient! You can even make 'em stand on its own which is uh uh super coolss. The four brushes are 2 foundation brushes, 1 concealer brush and 1 contouring brush. It has labels to it but you can always do whatever you want with the brush, right ladies? For example, the concealer brush. I don't use it for concealer. I think it's too small and it'd take a lot of time for me to conceal those flawwsss with a small brush. Instead, I use it for lipstick. So it is my lip brush now. Work with everything that you have ladies!

As for the Zoeva brushes, I got myself 3 brushes for eye makeups. I got them from Luxola and they were having sale at that time. The three brushes that I got are the 230 Luxe Pencil, 226 Smudger and 229 Eye Finish. My personal favourite has to be the 230 Luxe Pencil! And they all have their own personal pouch which is a bonus point for Zoeva! I am still very happy with the brushes that I got and I plan to get more from Zoeva line! Zoeva owns one of the finest makeup brushes and it is also considered as one of the most affordable makeup brushes line. I will try to do a separate blog posts on what I think of these two brands, okay dolls?

So dolls, y'all want my thoughts on these brushes? Let me know alright!

Until next post, stay tuned beauties!

Current Favourites!

Hi girls! It's been more than a year since I last updated anything in here *cough* i'm sorry! One day it just occured to me, why did I stop writing? Why did I stop doing what I love? I mean, I love sharing stuff with y'all out there. Especially when it comes to makeup wee! I have a lot to say but for now, I'll make a new debut with a post entitled, my current favourites! Warning : This is only on makeup.

So, I put on makeup every single day. Eventhough my classes are only 4 days a week and it's only from 9am till 12 noon. I still put 'em on. And usually, my routines are not entirely different from the previous day. My usual would be, draw 'em eyebrows, eyeliners, concealer, lipstick and on certain days when I have extra oily skin, I put on powder to set my makeup. I would just start off with my day cream, pat them on and let them sit on my skin for a while before I proceed with my concealer. I do not use foundation/bb cream. My concealer is my foundation. I would do 3 strokes on my forehead, 1 stroke on the bridge of my nose, 3 daps underneath my eyes, around my mouth and also on my chin. And blend 'em out using my favourite foundation brush from Real Techniques or on my lazy days or when I couldn't find it, fingers would do.

The next step would be, eyebrows! Eyebrows is something that I can't leave behind or skip this step. I am still using my myr5 eyebrows pencil. Got it at pasar malam, worth every penny. And for my eyeliner, I am still using my Holy Grail Maybelline Hyper Sharp Liner in black! Been using it religiously and demm girls, I love it! It doesn't smudge or anything, even if I'm out for the whole day! Final step would be, putting on my lipstick. I have few favourites for now. I find myself grabbing the same lipstick for the past weeks, must be my excessive love towards the color payoff and staying power. And I rarely use my vibrant/dark color lipstick for this semester. I wonder why.. Anyways, that's pretty much about my usual routines and favourite stuff. Let me just include some photos for you guys alright?

Until next post, stay tuned beauties!
